Ample,comfortable apartment. Central Valencia.Wifi

Ample, comfortable and renovated 5 bedroom apartment at a stone throw of central Valencia, a historical mediterranean town with orange tree orchards, rice fields and a large, golden, sandy beach with a 5km long maritime walk with palm trees and gardens along it.

The apartment is located in an architectural-catalogued building, a fine example of Rationalistic Architechture of the 1960s. It has been recently renovated .

It is ideal for couples or groups of friends since it can house up to 8 guests. Families with small children will find it particularly suitable since the building has an inner patio-garden with a shallow pond which can be used by children up tu 12 years old. There is a porter round the clock 365 days a year.TripAdvisor property ID 2383920 children up tu 12 years old.

Additional Location Information

The apartment is located about 10 minutes walk from the historical centre of Valencia. There are two subway stops at 5 minutes walk from the flat and several bus stops round the corner. The airport is about 5km away from the flat; if you are flying, you can either take a taxi or take the underground (metro). You can usually find a parking place in the same street or in streets nearby.

There are many restaurants, bars and pubs in the area, with an active life at weekends. There are also several supermarkets, two sports centres and a public indoor swimming pool nearby. At five minute walking distance, you can also find a 6 km long park which has been created on the old river bed (the river has been diverted so that it now flows around the town and not through it). There you can also visit a zoo park, a lake where you could hire a boat to row about, several sport facilities, paved cycling and walking ways, wooded areas and special play areas for children.

If you are interested in historical buildings, there are plenty to visit in central Valencia: the Lonja (a beautiful gothic specimen of 13th-15th century civil architechture) the Cathedral (with Romanic, Gothic and Baroque parts to it) with its famous clock tower El Miguelete; several Baroque churches; the old gothic towers remaining from the City Wall (Torres de Serranos and Torres de Cuarte); excavations from Roman to medieval Valencia, Arab Spas, etc. It is also worth seeing the astonishing new Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, designed by world famous architect Calatrava

The museum lovers will also find a great variety of them (from San Pio V, with a great collection of gothic paintings, and The Museum of Modern Arts which houses contemporary paintings and several temporary exhibitions of the latest trends in painting, to the Museo Fallero where you can watch the famous Ninots Indultats -grotesque cardboard sculptures which have been saved from the yearly burning of Las Fallas- ; not to mention the museum of Prehistory and many others).

At about 5 km from downtown Valencia there is the Albufera, a big lake with connection to the sea, where you can admire the rice fields, the traditional buildings, the Barracas, and a variety of fish and birds. You can also make an excursion in one of the traditional fishermen boats.

Whether you are the active type, the relaxed family type or the culturally interested type, we are sure you will enjoy your stay in this centrally located Valencian flat.

“Comfortable, spacious and homely”

Left on 09/03/2012 for a stay in August 2012 | The Penney FamilyReviewed Sep 3, 2012Stayed Aug 2012

Maria Jose was very welcoming and made us feel very much at home in her apartment. Two of the four bedrooms have air-conditioning, as does the lounge. Although we visited over a very hot august weekend, we were still very comfortable in the apartment. We found everything to be clean and well-presented. The local shops and cafes are very convenient and tolerated our lack of Spanish with patience and good humour!

The location felt more like 20 minutes to the engaging old city, but there is frequent, excellent public transport (we can recommend getting the Valencia Tourist Card for free public transport and money off many attractions). The nearby Turia riverbed park is popular and makes a wonderful early morning or late evening walk or jog. Take the number 95 bus to zoom to the astonishing City of Sciences.

“Great location in a family home”

Left on 08/07/2012 for a stay in July 2012 | John TaylorReviewed Aug 7, 2012Stayed Jul 2012

This was our first time in Spain and with 2 adults and 6 teenagers we wanted a combination of beach, food, shopping, a few historical sites and the city experience. Valencia was more than able to satisfy this need. With the apartment close to the historical district and with too many nearby eating places to count, it was a very good location. Getting to grips with understanding the public transport system took a while (Valencia still does not really seem to really want to market its attractions that much to overseas holiday makers), but once we did getting to and from was very easy. The apartment was homely and the other apartment dwellers were very friendly. We liked the city and we liked the Spanish and would one day like to come back to Valencia.

Dear John Taylor and family,
Thank you for your kind comments. I'm glad you liked Valencia and felt comfortable and at home in my apartment.
I would like to thank you, too, because you were great guests and looked after everything so well.
Please come around any other time. It will be a pleasure to meet you.

“an amazingly modern and confortable place in the centre of Valen”

Left on 05/12/2012 for a stay in February 2012 | JMReviewed May 12, 2012Stayed Feb 2012

I was there in February this year with my wife and our two kids (aqed 8 and 10), and the the first I must say is that I was amazed at a number of things: 1) how centrally located within the city of Valencia it is- you are actually within walking distance of one the main shopping areas
2)How modern the place is. The building is like a kind of estate with this inner courtyard with a swimming pool that our kids loved
3) The apartment could easily accomodate two couples with kids as it has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, so we felt we had a huge space all for ourselves

María José the owner is fluent in English, (as well as German, and French!) and exceedingly nice! She helped us with all kinds of information and practical things. Our kids are allergic to several types of food so it's not always easy to find places to eat out or to buy the right foodstuffs and María helped us find everything we needed!

Thanks a lot, Sally and Joe for your kind words.
I am glad to hear you had such a nice time in Valencia. Things are very easy with guests like you. Thank you, too, for looking so well after the apartment.
I hope to see you again.
With my best wishes,
María José

“Nice stay in Valencia!”

Left on 05/10/2012 for a stay in April 2012 | AnnemiekReviewed May 10, 2012Stayed Apr 2012

We were with 7 persons and the appartment had room for everyone. We received the key at arrival and were asked to leave it on the table when we would leave. Very generous. We could've used the kitchen and kitchensupplies if we wanted, that was great. The beds were not very comfortable and it was not very clean but it was fine. The location was very nice, walkingdistance from the city center and few supermarkets nearby. We had a wonderful time in Valencia!

Dear Ms Wolters,
Thank you for your review. I'm glad to hear you had a good time in Valencia. I'm very sorry you did not find the flat clean enough. I can assure you I always make sure that proper in-depth cleaning is done after each visit and before the next one. I'll make inquires about what happened this time and take all the necessary steps to correct that.

I would also like to thank you and the young people in your group for looking so well after the flat and for the care you took to leave everything in order.
